You are our last hope, CD Project Red!
Greetings, CDPR developers, Nekkers and Salamandras!
As many of you are surely aware, the modern RPG titles all have one thing in common: they are unpolished and on the technical standard of beta versions. The downfall of the Gothic franchise with Gothic 3 marks the start of this era, driven by producers who want to sell something, even though it's not a finished work.
This is a common symptom in many, many projects, and even goes far beyond the genre, or rather beyond the games market.
Be it Risen, where the content and quality thins out after 10 hours of gameplay, Divinity:OS which is totally unbalanced, or the newest star on the list of failed RPGs: Raven's Cry, they all had/have the potential to be awesome, blockbuster selling games.
The general problem is, they were being released too early, or the money ran short at the end of the developement - leading to half assed attempts to make an ambitious game.
While this problem is due to economical reasons, there is almost no learning effect! Almost every time a new RPG is launched, you'll have to wait for like 10 patches until the major bug/balance/ or other issues are being adressed.
The Witcher 3 must not, under any circumstances, follow the footsteps of all those semi-failed games! You have a reputation to lose! You have a fanbase to please, you have to save a genre which is dying on the inside!
I guess there already is enough pressure on you, but for fucks sake, don't throw this game out before it's finished, polished and every single one of the staff/testers has given his blessings.
I'd rather wait for another 5 years and have the best RPG of all times, than seeing the sheer endless potential of this franchise and of your skills going to waste.
This is the only rational point of view, and even if 50k people cancel their pre order, launch a shitstorm on you etc, if you success in turning this into a legend, it won't even matter.
So please, do not repeat the mistakes of the past, but rather make yourself immortal with this game. Of all the great companies that could have done it, you're pobably the closest to achieving it. You can into do this!
Respectfully,
some dude who's sick of playing RPGs that are crap because of plainly obvious reasons.
PS: Promote the guy that made the FCR Mods, that man is a genius. No srsly get him whatever he desires.
PPS: Also promote the guy who did this forum, this is the real shit!
